Angels gift Derek Jeter with a retirement paddleboard
Angels gift Derek Jeter with a paddleboard
When you think of Derek Jeter, you likely think of three things:
1. Cool, steely blue eyes.
2. Cool, steely blue leadership.
3. Cool, steely blue abs.
But have you ever thought of Derek Jeter as a laid back SoCal dude standing atop a paddleboard? Apparently the Angels do, since they gave the shortstop one on Wednesday night.
Of course, the Angels may just be giving Jeter some post-retirement career options. Since everyone knows that paddleboarding is just a gateway water sport to surfing, perhaps the Angels are hinting that Jeter should infiltrate a gang of surfing bank robbers.
Or that he'll need to best the Joker in a surf competition.
Jeter showed a natural ability to wield the board as a weapon at the ceremony, nearly taking out Mike Trout, so it's not a huge leap to think that he'll soon be fighting crime from atop it.
